2022 Quintodecimo Irpinia Aglianico

"The wisdom in the glass manifests itself in a pure celebration of beauty, with a blend of floral and fruity aromas that reveal a masterful extraction and the wisdom of taming the grape variety. The sensory orchestra opens with the tart sweetness of raspberries and currants, then slowly transitions to larger berries reminiscent of blackberries and blue plums. The irrepressible undercurrent of sweet power reveals itself with floral notes of lavender and violet, with a subtle touch of wild myrtle. Medium-full body, soft tannins, and a firm structure blend into a luminous and balanced finish, a pure expression of the varietal. A pure Aglianico."

"The 2021 Terra D'Eclano is remarkably expressive, with a vivid blend of wild strawberries, violets, lavender and hints of wet stone. It sweeps across the palate, wildly fresh and lifted with crisp wild berry fruits and perfumed inner florals. Tactile mineral tones form toward the close. The 2021 finishes long and staining yet energetic, with a gentle tug of fine tannins and a nuance of sour citrus. Wow."

"Made with a special selection of fruit from across five vineyard sites with different soil profiles, the Quintodecimo 2020 Irpinia Aglianico Terra d'Eclano is the most approachable of these reds with ripe primary fruit and softness. Fruit in 2020 shows abundant ripeness, texture and richness with baked blackberry, cherry liqueur, caramel, toasted spice and campfire ember. This wine is underlined by power and ripeness. Some 16,000 bottles were released."
